"...#AI to save myself the time of re-creating a wheel I've already constructed?"
https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/07/26/my-use-of-ai/#gsc.tab=0
I like #RichardMurphy who see's the patterns but when something is "fast" / "easy", it over-rides the dangers:
- "why is it free" / "is there a catch??
- "does it matter if it's a Big #USPol company behind it, doing other bad stuff?"
- "in exchange for what longer-term?"
"Free" lunch solves the monetary problem... and can by-pass even clever people's logic.

Psst, tired of AI being pushed into absolutely everything and Chrome watching you while you browse? Here's how to switch in just a few minutes. 💪

Screen recording on macOS: Chrome navigates to Vivaldi.com and downloads Vivaldi Browser, which is then installed. Vivaldi opens for the first time, the user signs in, sets it as the default browser, and imports data from Chrome with a single click.
@RichardJMurphy I like your work but seems also like you're #baiting anti-#AI people.
Do you see the cost of #AI as a similar #economics #waste, #environmental damage etc ?
I'm not telling you no, but do you understand it takes MUCH MORE ENERGY and not the same as #pencil or #calculator (or even if it is, maybe we shouldn't go #exponential doing simple things in more complicated ways).
Again, the ease & comfort works, but energy + DUBIOUS people behind the #curtain is a consideration right?

Linux kernel development is dropping massive batches of old hardware drivers, every month.
Linux is no longer the system that can bring life to old hardware.
Because of AI.
The means are becoming the ends.
They always do.

so i run somethiung called #hermes #agent, hermes agent. basically it's an agentic system, open source, and can hook up with different resources.
sorry hermes, but in regards to the builtin github search tool, you're not getting full fucking access to my shit!
you're getting a fine grained personal access token, not a classic token!
sorry!
you'll get fine grained access tokens per repository, but you're not gtting read and wrte access to shit!
just, no! not fuckinghappening!
even a friend of mine, who i let borrow my account for a few days because they lost access to their account, did not get this deep of access!
they got the access they needed per repository to do shit for an organization we work for, but not any administrative access!
fuck off!
sorry!
the lesson here is: don't let any agentic program, i don't care hwich one, if it's using the best #ai ever, use your github account for full access! and if it does, you bnetter monitor it very closely! i don't care if it runs on your system or not!

Former Japanese AV actress Natsuki Hikaru has announced her retirement from the industry to start a new life as a software developer.
After leaving the industry, she said her former agency kept control of the account where she had 20,000 followers, forcing her to start over.
Today, she makes a living building websites and AI-powered automations and works as a technology consultant.

Sorry about that long-ish outage, but we were YET AGAIN getting smashed by AI bots. I have given up fighting them, and I'm just scaling up until #mastodonAU can handle the load. This time the #PostgreSQL database was running at a load of 100+ because it was disk IO bound. I did *try* to live migrate it, but it was just insanely slow so I made the call to shut it down (hence the 'Something went wrong' errors) and move it offline. It's moved. Now it's running on a pure SSD-only backing store, which hopefully will handle everything the #AI scrapers throw at us.
I'll be doing the same thing with #MastodonNZ too, shortly (but hopefully without the outage, as that's a much more lightweight instance)
I also really need to fix the status page that comes up when mau is down.

#ai companies crow about the risky power of their products to sell the public (and investors) that they're indispensible.
I wonder if they're now also trying to overtly court regulators.
If they could get legislation saying "any model bigger than current ones is too scary" it freezes the unsustainably costly dev treadmill and hobbles new or foreign entrants to the market.
Like how Meta went all in on age verification once they could comply more easily than the next upstart competitor.

Japan's Ministry of Justice has issued new legal guidelines recognizing the voice as a legally protected right, giving it the same consideration as a person's name and face.
The measure aims to combat the unauthorized use of seiyuus' and singers' voices through AI, including cloned voices used for monetization or to generate traffic on social media.
Talents can reportedly demand the removal of unauthorized content and seek compensation for commercial damages.

AI Slop companies now advertise their crimes to hype up their slop bots, basically acknowledging their "product" is total worthless and does not do what it's instructed
All the while stealing our content to train on, flattening whole forests to make space for their crap centers, consume water and electricity meant for people
And they don't have a clue about the endgoal
What a terrible joke..

RE: https://mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/117030783136853538
Being given a 100% AI generated score for your own mental work hurts. It also hurts because the result is presented as absolute and undeniable, with no path for appeal or inspection. A decision presented as a black-box score with no insights revealed how the score has been computed or the specific reasons/patterns which triggered "detection" to begin with[1]... A score produced by a third party which inserted itself as middleman in the communication flow between writers and readers and claims authority and arbiter status over deciding what is slop and what is not. Another layer of statistical machine learning to detect patterns/anomalies of statistical means of language generation...
In this specific case, I don't really care too much what these tools say. I know what I wrote and rewrote, over hours, and to the best of my ability (as non-native English speaker).
The myth of computational objectivity prevails. For decades it was about blind belief in algorithms, now shifted to AI models. The wider public and most decision makers neither seem to understand the difference, nor do they care about the inherent dangers. Pragmatism at all costs. The genie is out and can't be put back. The problems (if acknowledged at all) are always treated as temporary minor hurdles rather than fundamental systemic issues.
It's upsetting how Little Britain's "Computer Says No"[2] attitude and blind outsourcing of black-box classification and decision-making to machines has already been so extremely normalized and is impacting more and more of our lives, for many people/minorities in far more serious and outright deadly ways... 😭
[1] Having worked with many forms of machine learning myself, I know first hand that lack of detailed observability has been plaguing ML disciplines for decades. I think these are also some of the most worrisome aspects of more widely deploying LLM affine tech. Whilst some minor progress has been made, these efforts are severely challenged and thwarted by the exponentially growing model sizes, architectural complexity and distributed nature of agents.
